Bill > SB170

This bill makes several changes to Alaska's gaming laws, primarily to regulate and expand the use of electronic pull-tabs and to allow gaming activities on Alaska Marine Highway System vessels. Key provisions include establishing a $10,000 annual permit fee for gaming on state ferries, clarifying local government's role in protesting gaming activities, and allowing the Department of Revenue to investigate and administer penalties for violations related to electronic pull-tab systems. The bill also modifies reporting requirements for operators, sets new rules for contracts between permittees and operators, and establishes specific requirements for the distribution and operation of electronic pull-tab systems, including restrictions on manufacturers and distributors to prevent conflicts of interest and ensure fair competition. Additionally, it allows for gaming on state ferries under specific conditions, sets prize limits for electronic pull-tabs, and adjusts prize limits for other gaming activities, while also repealing certain outdated provisions and establishing new definitions for terms like "electronic pull-tab system" and "distributor."
